Is the rhino beam the one, or is there something else available that will do the same job without the carp tax?
Be interested in peoples opinions/experiences.

The new one looks good to me and is not that much more than the unbranded ones.

Certainly worth a look

I bought one off ebay for around a tenner, it works well and does the job,

But my biggest mistake was not seeing where I was buying it from, so 8 weeks later from China it arrived 😅, similar ones from UK distributors were only a couple of quid more !

The Rhino v5 is a re badge of the Ulanzi Vilim VL66. The v4 is another re badge .You can get two for less than cost of one Rhino V4

Used the original rhino beam for a good few years and it was spot on, unfortunately it packed in. I bought one of the new rhino beam, think it's r4 rechargeable. Crap just not bright enough.
